This week, we'll focus more on reviewing math in order to prepare for the upcoming NYS Math exam. The exam will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. Day 1 will feature 45 multiple choice questions and students will have 70 minutes to complete the test. Day 2 will feature twelve questions (eight short responses and 4 extended response) It will also be 70 minutes long. A challenge for this portion is to use the seventy minutes wisely and not rush through the exam. A careful, methodical approach is required to do well in this portion and we have been practicing how to use our time wisely.
On another note, the parent in charge of the community garden has asked for some student volunteers this Tuesday at recess. If your child does not have a previous lunch time commitment, and is interested in working in the garden, please make sure s/he is wearing the appropriate work clothes.
Have a warm, sunny week!
